Thoebe-C Carlisle contest. This. he said,
would permit the speaker TO appoint the
committee which would try all other
election contests. The substitute was
rejected and Mr.. Holman's resolution
adopted. Mr.. I3awier, of Illinois,
offered a resolution calling on
the secretary of the treasury for infor-
nation as to whether the amount real
lied from the internal revenue tax of 2
cents Il pound Oh oleonargarine is nee
eSSary for pI esent or future revenues of
the government, and whether the abro-
CATION of that tax would beneficially
diminish the treasury surplus: also,
whether it appears affirmatively that
the imposition of the oleomargarinc tax
operates to prevent the consumer from
using a food product injurious to the
public health: also whether the IMPOSE
ton of this tax is not in contraventiOn
of the views of the president, as eX-
pres sc ia his mt ssage. On motion OF

Not His WeapOn.

A gentleman was conyerSing with an
Idaho minister, whom he happened to
meet Oh a railroad train, says the Chi
cagO Tribune.
''YOu have been preaching in the
West for several years, l understood
you to say, did | nOt?" he inquired.
''YeS, for the last twenty years." re-
piled the minister.
You KNOW" continued the Eastern
man, chow we sometimes read of mill
listers in your country frequently having
to go into the pulpit with a revolver to
use in maintaining order in turbulent
congregation. Is there anything in ito"
''Oh. yes, / have known ministers to
do it, but consider it entirely unnec-
eSSary."
THAT was always my idea, too"
''Oh, yes; yes. altogether unneces-
Sary," returned the preacher. BE
sides, it always seemed to me in very
poor taste for minister of the gospel,
preaching peace on earth and good will
toward men, to go around tied to a hip
cannon. Yes, gun is wholly uncalled
for" continued the good man as he took
the roll of sermons i'll his left hand and
reached down with his right and ex-
tracted fOurteen-inch knife from his
bootleg; ''yes, wholly uncalled for; give
me this bowie in my bootleg and good
pair of brass knuckleS and hymn book
in my coat tail pocket, and | will agree
to carry the gospel to any man that ever
looked through a collar! The shooting
ron has had its day as method of evan

past years. but neither rulers nor nations
seem ready for any practical step in the di-
rection of a general peace. The armies are
too great 10 promise peace and too great TO
make il safe for monarchs to venture upon

between Ashland and Superior, was filed in

Why the Tramp "Scooted."

Miss Ada Dodd is the handsome six
teen-year-old daughter of Capt. David
Dodd, who lives near Falling Waters,
Pa. She keeps house for her father and
brother, and is known as the best shot
with rife or shotgun in the region. A
few days ago she was alone in the house
when Misunderstanding tramp
slouched up, seated himself in chair
OH the porch. and ordered the girl to
get him some dinner. She went into
the house, took down her double-bar-
relied rifle and told the tramp to leave.
BAH" he replied, Il amt afraid of
any woman shooting. You can't bluff
me-" AT that moment chicken ran
across the yard. When it was several
yards away and still on the run Miss
Dodd brought the rifle to her shoulder
and fired. The chicken fell dead. The
ball had cut its head square OFF. The
girl looked around to note the effect of
her shot OH the tramp. He was half
way across the yard and making for the
fence, with his tattered cOattalls
straight out behind him. He never
stopped or looked back as far as lie
could be seen flying down the road. Il
pulled up to notch his ear with the
bullet as he got over the fence" said
Miss Ada, in telling her father of the
incident, ''but / had to laugh so to see
him sc0ot that | couldn't take AIM"
